None of the Lip Fillers Last on Me - What's my Next Option?

asked 2 years ago by Mia2009 in Hinsdale, IL

I've tried many temporary lip fillers, 2 weeks ago I even tried fat crafting & the doc injected some of the fat into my lips. Looked swollen and huge on the beginning but now it seems like it's all gone again. Nothing seem to last on my lips. What would be a good permanent option for me now?

Next Option in Lip Filling

Much as we would each like to believe that we are unique or special, odds are overwhelming that this is NOT the case. Whenever i am told by a patient that Botox does not work on them, I will guarantee that that Botox was inactive, dilute, gray market, injected by an unqualified injector or - all of the above. Having augmented lips with every filler for over 15 years, it is hard to beat Restylane or Juvederm. So - in your case I would bet that if you changed your injector, your... more
